Chapter 42: The Trap (2)

After Duan Ling left the palace, he had a good night's sleep. Early the next morning, he asked the housekeeper to prepare breakfast, and waited for Lan Zhi to come to the door while practicing his sword. But he waited until the morning light rose, but Lan Zhi hadn't appeared yet.

Duan Ling couldn't wait. At this point, Lan Zhi should have gone to patrol the city, but she didn't question herself first, which made Duan Ling feel that Lan Zhi's anger this time was really not small. He rubbed his temples with a headache and called his subordinates: "Go and ask, which street Lan Zhi is patrolling now." ā€

The subordinates were ordered to retreat, and turned back after a quarter of an hour: "My lord, Miss Lan Zhi didn't go to patrol the city today, she is still in Xinfeng Courtyard. ā€

Duan Ling finally realized that something was wrong. Lan Zhi has always had a clear distinction between public and private, even if she is angry with him, it is impossible to pull off her official duties, and how can she stay in Xinfeng Courtyard all the time.

A guess flashed through his mind, and Duan Ling's face immediately turned ugly. He grabbed his sword and walked out of the house: "Prepare the horse!" Go to Shinho-in! ā€

When Duan Ling came to Xinfeng Courtyard, it was already the middle of the morning (8 o'clock). The lobby was deserted, only a few turtles were cleaning, and snoring could be faintly heard in the wings. Duan Ling didn't stop all the way, directly killed Du Lianxue's room, and pushed the door open! I saw Du Lianxue dressing up.

When Du Lianxue saw Duan Ling, her hands shook in fright, and the hairpins fell on the table. She hurriedly stood up and bowed to Duan Ling: "I've seen Master Duan." ā€

Duan Ling's face was frosty, and he walked past her and walked inside: "What about Lan Zhi?" ā€

Du Lianxue replied in a daze: "Sister? She's not here. ā€

Duan Ling looked all over the room, and sure enough, he didn't see Lan Zhi, his bad guess came true, and he only felt his heart sink down. When he walked in front of Du Lianxue, he was surrounded by Xiao Zhi's murderous meaning: "Where did Lan Zhi go?" ā€

Du Lianxue's face turned white, and she trembled and stepped back: "I—I don't know!" Yesterday's appointment with my sister was the shopkeeper, and I didn't go. After accompanying the guests, I went back to the house and went to sleep......"

Before she finished her words, Duan Ling waved her hand fiercely! Knock the dresser to the floor!

In the piercing sound of ping-pong, Du Lianxue covered her head in fear and squatted on the ground, sobbing in a low voice. Duan Ling looked down at the girl who was shrunk in front of him, and said in a gloomy voice, "You don't have to pretend to be pitiful. If I can recover Lan Zhi, then it will be easy to say. If I'm unfortunate enough to be one step slower...... Do you still expect me to have mercy on you? ā€

said that Lan Zhi woke up in a dazed and found herself in a carriage. The sun was shining through the car window, and it was already the second day. She turned her head and saw Ren Yuanbai sitting opposite her, leaning against the wall of the car, closing his eyes and taking a nap.

Lan Zhi sat up slowly, and immediately found that her hands and feet were weak. Ren Yuanbai heard the movement, sat down beside her and hugged her: "Sister, you are awake." We have already left Haotian City, and after walking for two hours, we can enter Pingding Mountain. ā€

Lan Zhi struggled to break free of Ren Yuanbai's hand: "I said I wouldn't leave, why did you want to take me away?" ā€

The carriage was bumpy, and Lan Zhi's center of gravity was unstable and almost hit the wall of the carriage. Ren Yuanbai hurriedly supported her again: "Sister, I know you don't want to bother me, but I can't watch you marry Duan Ling's pervert!" You can rest assured, we have changed carriages a few times along the way, and the terrain of Pingding Mountain is complicated, we should be careful to avoid it, and even that section of Ling will not be able to find us. ā€

Lan Zhi unexpectedly Ren Yuanbai has always been worried about the question of "perverted": "Duan Ling is not a pervert, and I am really willing to marry him." She glanced at Ren Yuanbai, angry, but also worried that Duan Ling would anger him: "Come on, give me the antidote, I want to hurry back." ā€

Ren Yuanbai refused. He looked well-behaved, but he forcibly dragged Lan Zhi to sit down: "Sister, your legs should be numb after sleeping for a long time, I'll help you beat it." ā€

Lan Zhi was silent for a moment, and sure enough, she sat down with his strength, but while he was unprepared, her wrist flexibly stuck his throat and pounced forward! Forced him to the ground of the carriage!

Ren Yuanbai didn't expect that she could still restrain herself without her skills, and she was shocked! saw Lan Zhi pull his clothes without twisting, and turned out the pouch hidden in his chest!

Ren Yuanbai hurriedly reached out to grab it! Lan Zhi rolled aside, opened the pouch twice, and picked out a small porcelain vase from it. She pulled out the cork and put it on the tip of her nose to sniff, and without asking a word, she directly poured out a pill, tilted her neck and swallowed it!

Ren Yuanbai opened his mouth to look at her, and finally said in a half-loud voice: "Sister, that's not an antidote, how can you eat indiscriminately!" ā€

Lan Zhi threw the small porcelain bottle back to him without changing his face, and sat cross-legged to breathe: "Qin Anshan's leisurely dispersion - when I helped with medicine, you didn't know about this thing. ā€

Ren Yuanbai was silent. He got up and sat down next to Lan Zhi. There was a moment of silence in the carriage. I don't know how long it took, Lan Zhi let out a long breath. The weakness in her body had receded, and she moved her wrist and looked at Ren Yuanbai: "Yuanbai...... I can't explain the matter with Duan Ling for a while. But we're really in love. He treats me very well and I feel very happy with him. So, can you let my sister go back? ā€

Ren Yuanbai looked at her fixedly, as if he was discerning the truth of her words. Lan Zhi looked back quietly. After a long time, Ren Yuanbai gave up and sighed: "Okay, I thought too much about the bento." Sister, I only hope that what you say today is from the bottom of your heart. ā€

Lan Zhi knew that he still had doubts, but he didn't dare to delay any longer, and he wanted to get out of the carriage when he stood up, but he felt that the carriage shook violently! At the same time, the voice of the entourage sounded outside the car: "Childe! We're surrounded! ā€

Lan Zhi had a bad heart, so she hurriedly lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car! Sure enough, I saw many heavily armed cavalry standing on the hillsides on both sides. Duan Ling stood in front on horseback, looking down on the convoy condescendingly. The sun was shining over his head, and his face was hidden in the shadows, and his expression was not real. His voice came with coldness: "Ren Yuanbai, let Lan Zhi go." ā€

When Lan Zhi heard this, she felt a sigh in her heart. Ren Yuanbai happened to get out of the car at this time, and Lan Zhi dragged him past and protected him behind him: "Lord Duan, he didn't kidnap me, I just came to give him a ride." ā€

Ren Yuanbai already knew that Lan Zhi was going back, so he was wise not to intervene at this time. Duan Ling stared at him without expression, but slowed down his voice and said, "Ah Zhi, come here." ā€

Lan Zhi turned her head to look at Ren Yuanbai, said "cherish" silently with her mouth, and turned towards Duan Lingxing.

The soldiers on the hillside were all Duan Ling's close riders, and more than 100 people stood in the sunlight and breeze, but they were as silent as stone statues, and they didn't make a sound. Lan Zhi was under pressure by this face, so she simply used her light skills and ran in front of Duan Ling in a few steps. She wanted to say something, but Duan Ling grabbed the bow and arrow on her horse without warning, and actually bent the bow and set the string, and shot an arrow towards Ren Yuanbai!

At this moment, time seemed to stand still. The sound of heartbeat was suddenly as heavy as a drum, and the arrow flew in front of Lan Zhi's eyes like slow motion, heading straight for Ren Yuanbai!

Xu is obsession with protecting her younger brother made Lan Zhi not waste time stunned, or maybe in her heart, she has actually been guarding against this kind of thing. She jumped up at a speed that she couldn't imagine on a normal day, and the sword was out of her hand, and she threw it at the arrow!

But Duan Ling's prepared arrow, how could she stop it? Her sword swirled for a while, then slashed into the dirt. And the arrow was full of momentum and did not stop...... wiped Ren Yuanbai's face and plunged into the wall of the carriage!

A bloody mark immediately appeared on Ren Yuanbai's face. Before he could react, he didn't even have time to look startled in his eyes, he just stood motionless. Lan Zhi gasped heavily, but her hands and feet were weak and she couldn't stand anymore, and she fell to the ground.

She stared intently at the ground in front of her. The soil in early spring is moist, and the tender yellow grass grows on it, swaying in the wind. But soon, a horse's hoofs stepped on the grass. Duan Ling's voice sounded above her head, and every word was hidden in the murderous intention: "Ren Yuanbai, if there is a next time...... I won't spare you. ā€

Then, her body rose into the air. Duan Ling put his arm around her waist, let her sit in front of him, turned the horse's head, and rode away.

Duan Ling didn't let people follow. He ordered the cavalry to return to Haotian City, but he chose a random road and went around the Pingding Mountain. The panic when he found out that Lan Zhi was taken away still remained, and Duan Ling just wanted to be alone with Lan Zhi. He hugged the woman in his arms tightly, and calmed the still flustered mood with the warm storage zĆ i.

He wandered around the mountains aimlessly for nearly two quarters of an hour, and finally gradually relaxed his nerves. But in this way, he quickly realized that something was wrong: Lan Zhi sat in front of him, not speaking or moving, so well-behaved that people were uncomfortable.

Duan Ling tried to probe Lan Zhi's expression, but the woman lowered her eyes slightly and hid her love under her long eyelashes to prevent him from seeing it clearly. Duan Ling couldn't, so he had to say nothing: "Ah Zhi, are you hungry?" Would you like to find a family to eat? ā€

Lan Zhi didn't answer him. Duan Ling sighed secretly and kissed her lightly on the side of her ear: "Angry? ā€

Lan Zhi remained silent. Duan Ling hugged her tighter, his face pressed against her hair. He wanted to sue her for his anxiety, he wanted to sue her that he didn't plan to kill Ren Yuanbai, and he also wanted to sue her, because she was angry with Ren Yuanbai, which made him feel very wronged......

But many thoughts crossed Duan Ling's mind, and finally turned into a gentle sigh: "Ah Zhi...... Don't do this. ā€

Lan Zhi finally gave a reaction. She grabbed the reins of the horse, twisted around, and jumped to the ground. Then she walked to the open place on the hillside, drew her sword out of its sheath, lowered her eyes, and said, "You come here, we will fight." ā€

Duan Ling hesitated for a moment and dismounted. He didn't mind letting Lan Zhi beat him out of anger, but he used his sword to ...... Wouldn't it be too dangerous?

Duan Ling walked in front of Lan Zhi and wrinkled his face pitifully: "Ah Zhi, we don't use a sword, okay?" ā€

Lan Zhi tilted her head to stare at the tip of the sword, not looking at him. Duan Ling had no choice but to draw his sword to face the battle. He cheered up his spirits, thinking that he wanted to let Lan Zhi out of his anger and not release the water too deliberately, but unexpectedly, after a few rounds, Lan Zhi didn't dodge or dodge, and hit the tip of his sword!

Duan Ling was so shocked that his heartbeat stopped! Hurry up! But it's not as good as that. The blade of his sword grazed Lan Zhi's chest, stabbing her right in the shoulder!

Blood poured out immediately. Lan Zhi covered the wound and took two steps back, her palms wet with blood. Duan Ling's hand trembled a little, as if his heart had also been stabbed by someone, and it hurt sharply. He threw the sword, stepped forward with a blue face, rudely grabbed Lan Zhi's wrist and tore her hand away, and then carefully tore her clothes to check the sword wound.

The wound was not too deep, and it did not hurt the muscles and bones, Duan Ling's heart was slightly relieved, but there was a burst of irritability for no reason. Lan Zhi let him move, but said, "Brother, I want to ......"

Duan Ling interrupted, "What do you mean? He restrained himself from raising his head to prevent Lan Zhi from seeing his expression, but his voice was completely uncontrollable, cold and tough: "Ren Yuanbai is so important to you?" If I hurt him, you're going to kill yourself in revenge? ā€
